What makes the model tick ?
Who ticks at the model ?
Digital Foundation
The JavaPolis 2006 keynote by Marc Fleury covers the five models within the Open Source development community. Marc explains the potential path towards professional open source based on his experience with the JBoss Application Server. In his animated way he looks at what makes the model tick and who ticks it. In the last part he talks about the digital foundation being equal to (Virtualization + SOA + Web2.0) ^ OSS. A very interesting and entertaining keynote.
Marc Fleury, senior vice president and general manager of the JBoss division at Red Hat, is the former CEO and founder of JBoss Inc., whose flagship open source JBoss Application Server was first released in 1999. While at JBoss, Fleury expanded on the success of the application server to drive development of JEMS (JBoss Enterprise Middleware System) as the leading open source platform for service-oriented architecture (SOA), and also participated in the EJB3 specification and pursued research on aspect oriented middleware. Prior to founding JBoss, Fleury worked at Sun Microsystems, where he worked on early Java-enablement of SAP at SAPLabs. A graduate of Frances Ecole Polytechnique, and an ex-Lieutenant in the French paratroopers, he has a Masters in Theoretical Physics from the Ecole Nationale Superieure and a Ph.D. in Physics from Ecole Polytechnique for experimental work he did as a visiting scientist at MITs Research Lab of Electronics.
